Are you looking for somewhere to unleash your passions for interior design; somewhere to inject contemporary design into traditional property; somewhere to make entirely your own? If so, this three bedroom Victorian terraced house has plenty to offer.

The perfect fixer-upper, the house makes an ideal project because it's entirely liveable right now with double glazed windows, gas fired central heating, and a fitted kitchen and bathroom from the early 2000s. This means you can renovate at your own pace, room by room, with plenty of time to think about how you'd like things to look, rather than having to make all the decisions right away.

As soon as you're though the front door, you enter an already opened out ground floor with the walls between the entrance hall and original reception rooms all removed to provide a particularly large living space.

Beyond lies the large dining kitchen that's comprehensively fitted with a range of wall and base units installed in 2007. The integrated hob, oven, extractor, fridge freezer were replaced around 2016 and could easily be incorporated into your makeover to save on expense and waste. From the kitchen you enter a conservatory (a potentially lovely morning room), from where French doors open to the garden.

Upstairs are three bedrooms: the primary running across the full width at the front if the house, with the second immediately behind and the third at the back, both overlooking the garden. Some of the third bedroom has been borrowed to provide a bigger bathroom, but your renovations could adjust the placement of the partition if you need three doubles.

The original bathroom has been remodeled as an enlarged shower room with large standalone shower cubicle and glazed doors; corner wash basin in vanity unit; and close coupled wc.

As with most houses in the neighbourhood, the potential to extend exists both in the loft space to provide an additional bedroom suite, and in the side return to enlarge the kitchen further into a contemporary family space, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the southeast-facing rear garden extends to approximately 30ft and is entirely paved with timber fencing on all sides.

With three neighbourhoods to explore, Devonshire Close benefis from a wealth of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance alongside the vast international shopping, cinema and food operators of Westfield Stratford City, just one stop (2 mins) by train.

Local favourites include Mora for Italian; Asado for Steak; Marmelo on Francis Road in Leyton for lovely dinners; Leytonstone Tavern for excellent pints and brunch; and The Holly Tree for more great pints, Sunday roasts and even a train in the pub!

For stepping outside and getting to know your neighbours, Forest Lane and Langhorne Parks are both nearby and have lakes, walking paths and playgrounds, while a deeper experience of nature can be had in the wonderful reserve of Wanstead Flats, just at the end of Ramsay Road.

There are numerous good-rated schools in the neighbourhood including Maryland, Jenny Hammond and St Francis primaries; St James junior; Buxton secondary, and Hafs Academy.

Maryland station is just 2 mins by train from Stratford and 9 from Liverpool Street, while Leytonstone High Road (Overground) and Forest Gate (an upcoming stop on Crossrail) are also within walking distance. And if you want the tube, hop on a bus for the 6 minute ride to the Central Line stations at Leyton and Stratford. In short, whether you're heading for the City, West End or Canary Wharf, your commute is simple and swift.
